The Terror of the Lord

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of the 'terror of the Lord' as described in 2 Corinthians 5:11-16, emphasizing that this terror is a reverential fear that motivates believers to live self-denying lives for God's glory. It highlights the balance between God's fearsome judgment and His overwhelming love, which together constrain Christians to persuade others and live faithfully. The preacher underscores that true joy and fulfillment come from self-denial and serving God, not from worldly riches or fear of man.
